Abstract
The quasisteady expansion of a plasma ablated from a laser-irradiated pellet with classic (Spitzer) heat flux is reconsidered with a nonclassic heat flux law. The nonphysical flux factor (calculated flux vs. free streaming), going to infinity as one goes away from the pellet in the above transition regime, is corrected.
